Although he's served up regular collaborative singles and albums (not only alongside his good friend Benjamin J Smith, but also as part of Hillside and Paqua), Claremont 56 founder Paul 'Mudd' Murphy has not released a solo record since the late 2000s. The good news is that the Balearic scene stalwart has a new solo album on the way, hence this two-track sampler. A-side 'In The Garden of Mindfulness' (the title track of the forthcoming LP) shuffles along at a deliciously low tempo, with woozy lead lines, subtle Clavinet licks, sun-soaked jazz guitars and cascading synthesiser motifs reclining over head-nodding beats and the squelchiest of synth basslines. Flip-side 'Katanaboy',meanwhile, is a gentle nudge towards sun-down dancefloors pushed forwards by metronomic Balearic disco beats and rubbery jazz-funk bass.
